Chapter 73:
What irritated Isabella the most was Brenna’s so-called design talent. She had seen Brenna’s work, and in her opinion, it was mediocre at best. The Barrett Group specialized in mid-to-low-end auto parts, so naturally, Brenna had experience designing within that range. But high-end automobiles? That was an entirely different level. There was no way Brenna could handle that.
And as for Brenna’s medical skills, Isabella remained skeptical. It was probably just luck. Her parents had never even seen Brenna study medicine, so at most, she had a basic understanding. Nothing significant.
The thought of this made Isabella feel better. She eagerly waited for Brenna’s response and decided to push things a little further. With a smirk, she threw out a casual but pointed remark. “You can’t ride a horse, right p>
She then burst into laughter and looked at Brenna with evident disdain.
Jordy, just as arrogant, chimed in arrogantly, “I knew it! You can’t ride a horse! You should just stay by Mr. Mitchell’s side and continue to be useless p>
Brenna caught the smugness in their voices and felt a sharp urge to put them in their place. She tilted her head slightly and asked, “Do you both know how to ride p>
She had no doubt that Jordy could. After all, he came from a rich family, where horseback riding was a standard social skill learned from a young age. But Isabella? Her background wasn’t as privileged. If the rumors were true, her family was fairly ordinary and likely hadn’t had the means to cultivate such expensive hobbies.
Sure enough, Isabella’s confident smirk faltered for a split second. She exchanged a quick glance with Jordy, and something flashed in her eyes. But just as quickly, she lifted her chin and said, “Who says I don’t know how to ride a horse p>
The truth was, she had only started taking lessons last week. At best, she could manage a slow lap around the arena without falling off. But she wasn’t about to admit that.

Brenna raised an eyebrow. “Really? If your riding skills are that good, why isn’t your name on the competitor list?” she asked.
She had no idea how skilled Isabella actually was, but she deliberately provoked her, knowing it would put her in a difficult position. Isabella snorted and said, “I just didn’t want to waste my time competing with amateurs p>
Brenna saw right through her facade but pretended not to notice. With a sly smile, she said, “Is that so? You must be really skilled, then. In that case, I’ll sign you up, and we can compete. We’ll see who’s actually better p>
Isabella hesitated. Brenna was cornering her, but she didn’t want to accept the challenge. If she entered the competition, she would likely come in last. At this moment, she quickly glanced at Jordy for help.
Jordy immediately caught on to Isabella’s reluctance and stepped in, saying, “We asked if you could ride. Why are you dragging Isabella into this? If you can’t, just admit it. It’s no big deal. No one’s going to laugh at you p>
Brenna found the whole thing amusing. Did they really think she was that foolish? That she would fall for their cheap provocations so easily? She crossed her arms and tilted her head slightly. “Tell you what—if both of you participate, then I will, too. If not, I won’t, either. Why should I join the competition just because of a few words from you? I’m not that stupid p>
